        abstract:  This dataset contains physical data collected in the North Pacific Ocean from 2018-06-14 to 2019-10-08. These data include PAR, depth, and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include Photosynthetically Available Radiation Sensor. These data were collected by Kerry J. Nickols of California State University Northridge and Robert B. Dunbar of Stanford University as part of the "Collaborative Research: RUI: Building a mechanistic understanding of water column chemistry alteration by kelp forests: emerging contributions of foundation species (Kelp forest biogeochemistry)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2022-04-04. The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO: Seafloor PAR - Inside and outside kelp forest Dataset Description: Acquisition Description: Sampling Locations: Sampling was conducted near the Monterey Peninsula near Pacific Grove and Monterey, California, USA. Kelp sites ranged from 8.8 to 10.3 meters deep and offshore sites ranged from 13.1 to 16.5 m deep. Instrument moorings were deployed in 2018 in the following areas: a wave-protected kelp forest, ~100 meters offshore of the protected site, in a wave-exposed site devoid of kelp (historically has had kelp), and ~100 meters offshore of the exposed site. Instrument moorings were deployed in 2019 in the following areas: a wave-protected kelp forest, ~175 meters offshore of the protected site, in a wave-exposed kelp site, and ~180 meters offshore of the exposed site. Location Abbreviations: PK = Protected kelp 2018, PO = Protected offshore 2018, EK = Exposed ‘kelp’ 2018, EO = Exposed offshore 2018, MK = Protected kelp 2019, MO = Protected offshore 2019, OK = exposed kelp 2019, OO = Exposed offshore 2019. Methodology: In 2018 and 2019, PME miniPAR loggers were deployed to the seafloor adjacent to instrument moorings. The PAR sensors were attached to cinderblocks and held in place with rebar. A mechanical wiper brush was programmed to clean the sensor every 6 hours and was active for the duration of the deployment.
        purpose:  This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.

                code:  PAR Sensor
            type:  PAR Sensor
            description:  Photosynthetically Active Radiation Sensor The PAR sensor measures global solar radiation from 400 to 700 nm, which approximates the spectral band active in photosynthesis. The response of the instrument falls sharply to zero on either side of this band, and between 400 and 670 nm it increases monotonically from about 50% to 100%. There is no protective glass dome over the receiving surface. Irradiance from the sun passes through a small white visible bandpass filter/diffuser in the shape of a horizontal disk at the top of the instrument. Within the instrument radiation is directed through a series of colored glass filters and onto a silicon photodiode detector. The factory-supplied calibration converts the signal from the detector to a flux of photons in micro-mole (of photons) s-1 m-2. (One micro-mole equals 6.022 E17 photons.) For the solar spectrum, these units may be converted to watts per square meter by dividing by 4.6. (http://www.srrb.noaa.gov/instrument/par.htm)
